The ArcGIS Extension for Bing Maps version 1.4 released June 2009. Version 1.4 adds a Route Task for use with ArcGIS network analysis services.

The ArcGIS Extension for Microsoft Bing Maps (formerly Microsoft Virtual Earth) allows you to extend the
Bing Maps API to use ArcGIS Server services. With this extension, you
can add your own data to the Bing Map Control and embed this map in your own page.

The documentation has a new look. The same getting started, sample, and library reference documentation is available for your use:

If you are just getting started, you can learn about the Bing Maps API through a series of walkthroughs.

You can also take a look at the samples. Many samples are available that show some aspect of the Bing Maps API. Most samples are a complete Web page, and you can view both the code and the page display.

The Library Reference contains details about each object and its properties, methods, and events.

If you are new to mapping and GIS, and would like to learn more about GIS concepts, you can check out What is GIS? on the Geography Matters Web site.
